I like my old fat flippers :) Even measuring with the micrometer can be off a bit as they compress the rubber somewhat, hence my approximations, I figured close enough. and since I posted that I’ve done more measurements and come up with slightly different values, but I think measured with a better tool (calipers vs ruler).

My new ones should be 112.24+23.29+16.00 = 151.53 or 3.22 inches but I don’t always check and sometimes work off an old table\template and probably rounded my new ones to 112+23+16 for 151 or 3.21 inches.

So in order for your flippers to be ‘lined up’ both flippers should have the exact same Y coordinate and the X coordinate of the left flipper should be Rightflippers (X – 317.655)

I applied that technique and it’s shockingly close to where I had eyeballed it based on the PF image. I had moved them quite a bit further apart from their original locations, so was worried that I had moved them too far apart. Great to have that confirmation, thanks!
